Best Way To Lose Weight

Yes water helps you to lose weight.Our bodies contain 70 percent water, so we must consume a diet that is 70% water just to replenish the water which is excreted and maintain the 70-30 balance. You have to drink 8 glasses of water a day. For weight loss, you should drink an additional amount of water. The more your weight, the more water you should consume to lose weight.

Will consuming lots of water help me to lose weight or should I have high water content food also?

Water i.e. pure water has many benefits. It decreases fluid retention, thereby increasing your thirst for more water, it enhances metabolism(the faster your metabolism, the slower you gain weight), declines appetite thereby reducing your need for eating every half an hour. All this does help to lose weight.

But drinking water does not have the enzymes and other life preserving elements which high-water-content food have which also help to lose weight. Every raw vegetable and fruit contains atoms and these atoms contain enzyme-the life principle in the atoms and molecules of every living cell. These enzymes are required for nourishing and replenishing the atoms of our body. Water carries the enzymes of the food into the intestines where these (enzymes) are absorbed.If you have more of water-rich foods in your weight loss diet that means you are eating food that have all the requirements of the body. The water also cleans your body of wastes and detoxifies it, thereby leading to weight loss.

Also if you have lots of water-rich foods then you would not have to forcibly drink those 8 (more if you are overweight)glasses of bland water everyday to keep your weight in check.

Sometimes the 70-30 balance may become 50-50 or 40-60 during weekends and parties. Don't worry. Just increase the quantity of high water content food the next day. Let the balance be 85% water-rich food and 15% of other food.

Just follow the simple, tasty and effective food balance given above and see yourself getting into shape quickly and staying that way forever. Weight loss and its worries will be thing of the past for you. No wonder dieticians all over the world recommend high-water-content foods as the best foods for quick weight loss.
